No
The device is described as a "patient examination glove," which prevents contamination between patient and examiner. This function is protective, not diagnostic. A diagnostic device would typically be used to identify, measure, or monitor a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states "PRE POWDERED LATEX PATIENT EXAMINATION GE", indicating a physical glove, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is a "patient examination glove" worn on the hand or finger to prevent contamination between patient and examiner. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description "PRE POWDERED LATEX PATIENT EXAMINATION GE" further supports its nature as a physical barrier device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in the body
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening
    • Using reagents or assays

Therefore, based on the provided text, this device is a medical device used for barrier protection, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
